North of Youya Country, the area of the relics

The dusty plateau has been an unsuitable place for ordinary people since ancient times.

During the Dawei period, it was used as an excellent place for prisoners to be exiled for hundreds of years, so much so that a few dried bones of men or horses can still be found here in the half-hidden sand. What's more, a large number of broken and rusty broken halberd spears were picked up here.

It was once believed that this was the legendary Death Zone, where prisoners or soldiers who marched here would be punished by the gods and remain here forever. No one gave any explanation, so the people were convinced of it, and they couldn't help but have an inexplicable fear of this place. It wasn't until the beginning of the 20-year civil strife of the Yue Dynasty that it was truly used as a strategic high ground.

The province of Youya, which occupies the northwestern territory of Hokuriku, has been guarding this place as the throat of Youya since it was crowned king in accordance with the principles of heaven. The emperor of Youya called this place a natural danger and gave it the name "North Riding Pass".

The large area behind the Beiqiguan should exist as a location, and it is called the Zongzhi District. From this moment on, the people's fears and speculations about the Beiqi Pass really faded.

The black tide-like iron horseman straddled the heavily armored high-hoofed war horse, rolled the dust, and charged across the desolate land. The big red banner was written with the word "Wu" like a group of dragons dancing, as if even this day was going to be obscured. That is what the martial king of Guangcai country claimed to be, and the letter of the martial character seal spread all over the countries of the continent, vowing that the continent would remember his threat. But no prince dared to openly provoke him, this was his majesty, the true imperial ceremony.

The general rode his horse and charged in front of the iron cavalry formation, holding a broad-bladed broad-backed war knife in his hand, and the phoenix feather weave inlaid on the top of the helmet represented his identity, Du Lieutenant.

Each soldier was proud of the fact that he was covered with toothed knives of astonishing lethality, with spears filled with dried blood, covered in fine steel fish-scale armor, shining bronze mirrors on his chests, and with enemy heads hanging from their waists.

Galloping, this is a real tiger and wolf division, and it is the most ferocious iron cavalry in the cavalry of Guangcai Kingdom. Every time it appears, it means that Guangcai is attacking in a big way, pouring out of the nest.

It exists to charge, kill, and occupy.

Li Yi, the governor of the Zongyi District, led 20,000 troops to meet Guangcai and galloped. He knew very well in his heart what this iron cavalry he was facing, it was known as the most elite iron-blooded division in the Northern Continent.

The decree issued by the Emperor of Youya was to order him to resist the Guangcai Rush and ride in front of the Northern Cavalry Pass, and to stop them outside the Ancestral Relic Area, unable to reach the Southern Plains. But the chances of him being able to successfully defend against it are almost zero.

As a natural danger, the North Riding Pass is not only the most difficult area to attack, but also the easiest place to attack. It is difficult to attack, almost entirely because of its easy to defend and difficult terrain. But now the strength of the soldiers of Youya Country is not even a flock of sheep......

Li Yi knew that he was not a great talent in command, although he was the leader, he also did a good job of settling down the whole family and facing death with confidence. He dismissed 10,000 troops who had no intention of meeting the enemy. Slaughtering cattle and sheep, swearing in front of the city gate, willing to defend the dignity of Youya with death. His mind once again returned to the time of the Twenty Years Rebellion, when he followed Lu Biao, who was then the general of Zhenguo, as a small personal guard, to fight. In my memory, the enemy troops who stood in front of Lu Biao were only invincible.

The sound of iron hooves like wind and thunder stopped at a mile in front of the city gate of the Zongyi District, and the flying yellow dust was still floating in the air, and the thick dust was rolling down, and the ten thousand iron horsemen were still and motionless, like sleeping beasts. Tens of thousands of blood-colored banners were inserted into the land by the cavalry, allowing them to float into the air.

"Under Xie Xu, at the behest of the emperor of the Guangcai Kingdom, he was asked to ask for the arrow. Your Excellency, you are the Governor of this relic area, right? Xie Xu, the commander of the galloping horses, immediately shouted and asked in front of the battle.

"Exactly down there." Li Yi was facing him, his eyes were like torches, "My name is Li Yi, and I am ordered to guard this relic area." However, your Excellency must do some more polite and polite words, and if you want to fight! ”

"Wait!" Xie Xu smiled slightly, "Xie has the courage to ask Li Du Du for advice, I don't know what Du Du wants?" ”

Li Yi frowned, a little strange. The boss fights, and the crushing defeat of either side will determine which side the morale of the war will go towards. And the galloping lieutenant in front of him, named Xie Xu, he had also heard of it, and he only knew that he was an extremely cautious general, who would never leave easily without making all preparations. But now, where is there any cautious and resourceful, it looks like a gambler who gambles on his life!

"General...... This," Xie Xu horseed, a deputy general rode out from the battle, and his eyebrows were unstoppably confused, "We don't need to do this, the North Cavalry Pass is just a cover for Youya Country to deceive itself, this so-called natural danger is empty." ”

"There will be accidents in everything, understand, He Yu." Xie Xu's face was quiet, "This governor named Li Yi ...... Some skills. ”

"But General, the task given to us by King Wu is to level all the locations north of it......"

Xie Xu turned his head suddenly, accompanied by the tooth knife that was pulled out in an instant, "I know the purpose of this trip better than anyone else, I have always promoted you as my own brother, you know?" ”

"Brother...... The younger brother understood. He Yu trembled and glanced at the tooth knife on his neck, and the cold sweat had already wet the underwear in the iron armor.

Xie Xu withdrew his tooth knife and turned to look at Li Yi in front of the enemy's formation, his eyes were cold and seemed to freeze, "Dudu, why bother with that extra killing?" Victory or defeat by one person is a good thing for you and me. ”

The Galloping Cavalry is a cavalry known for its brute brawl, which has no specific tactics and relies entirely on the courage of its charge to instantly crush the enemy's formation.

Even if someone can break through this formation, the back-up of the galloping cavalry will really make him lose all guts. The army was made of foot soldiers, each armed with the most powerful axe of the time, even the steel armor could not resist. And every Guangcai's foot soldier will swear to defend the strict order of the clear text, no matter what it is, it will not make them retreat.

This foot soldier is known as the Jing Brigade. This is Xie Xu's conceited strength.

Li Yi's eyes kept wandering behind the galloping formation, but he was disappointed, and he did not follow the baggage chariot and horse behind the formation. Could it be that the martial king of Guangcai has been so conceited that he sent troops to attack and even gave up his heavy baggage, this is obviously impossible.

As if he had decided something, he suddenly pulled out the spear that had been inserted in the earth, held the shaft of the spear with one hand, and rushed towards the enemy line with a sharp whip.

"Good!" Xie Xu was overjoyed, and he also rode his horse, roaring and rushing forward. Behind him, like a tiger waking up, roared in a demonstration of intimidation.

Suddenly, the sound of rushing and killing resounded through the world. The two puffs of smoke and dust clashed, and the weapons collided and made a sonorous sound of hitting each other.

Li Yi's eyes widened, and he suddenly picked up his gun and shook off the war knife in Xie Xu's hand. Then he shook a shot, and the gun pointed directly at Xie Xu's heart.

Xie Xu immediately, the war knife in his hand was only one block in front of him, and he met Li Yi's attack. Li Yi fought and retreated, the spear in his hand as swift as a pit viper out of the water.

"The strength of the governor is really extraordinary." Xie Xu blocked again, accurately blocking Li Yi's spear edge, "But it seems that there are still some ...... missing"

He violently shook the spear edge, and the knife in his hand grew in vain, like a tumbling wave. Li Yi knew that he was invincible, so he retreated in a panic, and avoided the fatal knife. The good horse under his crotch saved his life when it was critical.

"Concession." Li Yi gave up.

Suddenly, the morale of the Youya army soared, and the unprecedented shouts and cheers rang out, as if the drums that were about to shatter the eardrums also sounded one after another.

Xie Xu saw it in his eyes, but he was not annoyed, and he didn't care about the low strength of the cavalry behind him. He struck out again and sent his sword. In the battle on the battlefield, every inch is short and one inch is dangerous, Li Yi is a good hand at using a war gun, and he has a point advantage. But Xie Xu can be the captain of this galloping horse, how can he be an incompetent person who waits for idleness, he once again raised his knife and slashed forward.

Li Yi hurriedly raised his hands in shock and blocked it with a horizontal gun.

The two horses staggered for only a moment, and the winner was already decided. Li Yi suddenly let out a low roar, and he used his remaining hand to tuck the broken arm to prevent excessive bleeding. He trembled as he looked at the severed arm on the ground, which was still holding the spear, and the severe pain finally took over his whole body, but he did not retreat, and insisted on holding his head up.

"Li Dudu, you lost!"

"Damn it's you!" Li Yi roared loudly, used all his strength to pull out the war knife that was slanted on the war horse, and pointed at Xie Xu, "The thief is killed!" ”

"Hehe......" Xie Xu laughed silently, he quietly looked at the galloping horse in front of him that was getting closer and closer, and suddenly picked up the war knife in his hand, drawing an arc in mid-air, and when this arc fell down extremely quickly, it was a momentum!

With a terrible scream, Xie Xu raised the knife and shook off the blood stains on the knife. He jerked up Li Yi's head and threw it into the military formation of the Zongyi District.

"If it were the governor of the Zongru District ten years ago, I might still have some fears, after all...... At that time, this place was really considered a natural hazard. ”

"Soldiers! Kill! ”

Seeing that the commander was dead and the dragons were leaderless, Li Yi's soldiers instantly fell to the bottom of the original high fighting spirit, and completely lost their fighting spirit. All of them threw away their weapons in panic and fled towards the open gate, and the few soldiers who still had the fighting spirit were also scattered in the tide of fleeing soldiers, most of whom were trampled to death by horses in the chaos, and the others were inevitably slashed by galloping horses.

The heart of the running cavalry was greatly invigorated, and the roar was loud, and it was easy to capture the Zongyi area, killing the fleeing soldiers was as handy as killing cattle and sheep, and driving the army straight into the city of the Zongyi area.

Deputy General He Yu held back the excitement in his heart and walked to Xie Xu's side, "General, as you expected!" ”

Xie Xu turned around and glanced at him, smiled, and still casually watched the army in front of him enter the city gate. He did not follow into the relics area, but handed over the general's order to another lieutenant. The deputy general was very puzzled why Xie Xu, as the coach, didn't follow him into the city, but Xie Xu dispelled his thoughts with just a cold look, and he didn't dare to disobey Xie Xu's order, so he had to temporarily lead the gallop on behalf of the coach.

"What did I expect?"

He Yu was a little stunned, "Didn't you calculate that Li Yiyi would fight you in a decisive battle?" ”

"How can I be able to calculate other people's minds?" Xie Xu slapped He Yu's head lightly and heavily, "You kid, it's nonsense!" ”

"Then maybe this Li Yi is really stupid...... Dare to fight alone with the general, isn't this looking for death. ”

Xie Xu quietly watched as the sun had sunk and did not make a sound.

"After all, he is incompetent...... He Yu said slowly, "but even if he competes with the strength of the two armies, I'm afraid he will be defeated faster, right?" ”

He Yu tried to look at Xie Xu's knife-like face, but found that he was a little stunned and didn't look very happy. He knew that Xie Xu was thinking about the past again, and when he was in Guangcai, this general who was like his eldest brother often told him about his past.

He Yu gently raised his horsewhip and wanted to leave.

"Li left him...... It's not stupid, it's really stupid, it's the king of this country......"

He Yu's body froze, but he didn't stop his horse.
